Building Maintenance Assessment
Our most popular package, giving homeowners peace of mind as they proceed to maintain their homes. This assessment package is especially helpful for Seniors who are concerned about getting maintenance work done around their home and not being taken advantage of by unscrupulous contractors.
You will be asked to prepare a list of issues or concerns that you have before the assessment. This list will be reviewed before the team begins your assessment. Once your assessment is completed you will receive a detailed report. This assessment has been at times accepted by mortgage providers and Insurance companies.
We highly recommend that you are present for this assessment as you will get the most out of our interactions with you in the moment. This Assessment can take multiple hours, relevant to the size and age of the home.
We will review all of your home, both exterior and interior, following a CAC assessment format that we developed over years of experience. You will be given a blank copy so you can make your own notes as we complete your assessment.
We will document all visual concerns, using digital reference as needed. We will recommend remedial work and if you are hoping to do some of the work yourself, we will explain in plain English how this can be done.

Home and/or Site Assessment for Litigation Preparation

This package is commonly used for a new home build where the builder has failed in their contractual obligations or a contractor who has not complied with plans on the construction of a major renovation.

Client will be request to provide all relevant documentation for review before we attend for the site assessment.
Our reporting has been used for litigation negotiation/arbitration between the parties or in court filings. Cam has experience as a professional witness in the counties documented. Both Cam and Paul will attend the initial site assessment and we often find that at least one additional site review is needed. There are commonly a number of meetings during this process often involving your attorney, depending upon the scope of the work required. We factor in additional two (2) on-site/zoom/teleconference meetings in our quote. We will bring in a fully licensed professional trades of the discipline in question for a third party review as needed, along with our assessment.
